Ms Kiptugen said the electoral commission would register voters electronically but the voting would be done manually.

Mr Gration also asked the government to quickly resolve the controversy on next year’s election date to avoid anxiety among Kenyans, local and international investors.

“It is prudent for the government to resolve the issue of elections date before the next General Election to avoid speculation and animosity if stability is to prevail in the country,” added Mr Gration.

He said the Constitution had spelt out the date as second Tuesday of August and there was no need for speculation.
